Kristen on Dax Staying Sober

“I’m extraordinarily [happy] that he has stayed sober because that’s what allows me to have him in my life as a husband and as a father,” Kristen candidly shared with People in March 2019, noting that she now realizes “how much effort has to be put into staying sober.”

“I don’t mean that to be like, I come home and see him shaking and looking at a whiskey ad or something, [but] there are different elements you have to deal with when you’re staying sober,” she explained at the time. “It’s a ton of mental control and evolution.”

Although the doting husband achieved sobriety before the two got together, Kristen admitted that she’s “always watched” Dax as he’s “been running towards good goals … It’s just impressive for someone to have been that mindful about something.”

Family is Always No. 1

While chatting with Women’s Health for their November 2019 issue, Kristen revealed why she doesn’t mind passing up on certain movies or TV gigs.

“It’s too disruptive to my family [otherwise], and that’s what gives me the fuel to even be creative at all,” she gushed at the time. “If I had to choose, I’d choose them.”

Keepin’ the Spark Alive

The Veronica Mars star revealed the sweet way she and her handsome hubby keep the spark alive in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“Acts of service are huge for me. My husband literally said to me this morning — I mean, we’re 13 years in but he’s gotten it now — he woke up 10 minutes after I did and I was scrambling to get out of the house and he said as he was like, rising out of bed, he said, ‘Is there anything I can help you do to help you get out of the house on time?’” she sweetly recalled in November 2019. “And I was like, ‘Are you trying to make me horny right now? What are you doing?’”

Getting Down to Business

Considering there isn’t much Kristen and Dax keep to themselves, we’re not surprised they gave fans an idea of what their sex life looks like.

“We’re pretty decent about staying on top of it,” she joked with Redbook in August 2019. “We’ll be like, ‘Okay, it’s been how many days?’ We find a night when nobody is coming over and we don’t have to work super-early in the morning, and then we slot it in.”

They’ll Always Work it Out

Although their relationship goes through its ups and down, Kristen and Dax have both credited couples therapy with strengthening their bond.

“We have a very healthy marriage and we got there by doing therapy when we needed it, and constantly doing fierce moral inventories,” the blonde beauty shared with People in March 2017. “We both take responsibility when we are wrong, and I think it is easy to work with him because I married him, because I enjoy spending time with him and I trust him. That is exactly what I want in someone that I work with.”

Dax is One Lucky Man

Kristen may be one to gush about her hubby, but Dax couldn’t help but praise his beautiful wife while appearing on Queen Latifah‘s talk show in 2014.

“She’s way out of my league,” he marveled at the time. “Learn to dance, young men, learn to dance. Make jokes and learn to dance, and you can land a Kristen Bell.”

Kristen is One Proud Wife

Whether or not Dax struggled with alcohol addiction earlier in his life, Kristen couldn’t feel luckier to have Dax as the dad of her two children.

“He’s a wonderful father,” she told CBS’s Sunday Morning in 2016. “He knows the value of things. He was an addict for many, many years and he pulled himself out of it, and he’s been sober for 11, 12 years now. … And he knows how many times he’s messed up and how many times he’s been really close to losing everything.”

We couldn’t love these two more!
